Connecting the cable shielding for ET 200AL
Each module of the ET 200AL distributed I/O system features a functional ground
connection.
Use only shielded cables for connection of analog signals, PROFINET and PROFIBUS
signals and for the ET-Connection. If you have screwed the plug in correctly, the interference
currents that occur are diverted to the metal parts and functional ground.
If you attach an ET 200AL module to a conductive, grounded base, the lower mounting bolt
establishes a conductive connection to the earth potential.
If you attach an ET 200AL module to a non-conductive base, connect the lower mounting
bolt to the ground wire at the same time.
The following figure shows how to connect the functional ground via a ground wire, using the
IM 157-1 PN interface module as an example.
